The group show THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT tackles the stereotypes of today's youth. By focusing on heritage, sexuality, self-empowerment, and childhood memories, five young artists shed light on this complicated yet universal matter. The expo is a collaboration between THE CONSTANT NOW, and Please Add Color.
Curators: Kevin Kotahunyi and Magali Elali.
THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT - PT2 takes place in November 2021.
Making patchworks is a way for Lisa Ijeoma (°1997, Bruges, BE) to work through her emotions and personal experiences. The base of her narratives lies in trauma, racism, fear, abuse, and feelings of displacement and belonging: systemic issues most people of color experience firsthand. Furthermore, the young artist is fascinated by the gaze of the Other, which is present in the over-sexualization and exploitation of black bodies.
